Few things get local greenspace lovers more hyped than the upcoming improvements and beautification of our beloved Memorial Park. While many of the updates and facelifts are years off, a major milestone has been reached in the creation of the much-anticipated Land Bridge and Prairie project.
Installation of the first tunnel arches has started as of December 9, according to the Memorial Park Conservancy. Marked by two separate, 35-foot tall mounds, the Land Bridge will serve as a major connector for park users and wildlife between the north and south sides of the park, Additionally, it will offer new gathering spaces with scenic views of Houston and the project’s expansive prairie network.
